This Week's Pulse

Kill Tony took its live show to Dallas, Texas, packing out the Texas Trust CU Theatre for Episode #772. Co-host Brian Redban kicked off the night, yelling, "Hey, this is Redban coming to you live from the Texas Truck CU Theater here in Dallas, Texas, for a brand-new episode of Kill Tony." Host Tony Hinchcliffe welcomed the massive crowd, saying, "It has begun, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Kill Tony Dallas," before bringing out fan favorite Martin Phillips, whom Hinchcliffe crowned "one of the greatest golden ticket winners in the entire history of the show."

While the Dallas live show dominated the feed, other comedy heavyweights are dissecting the show's unique production engine. On Your Mom's House, comedian Adam Ray pulled back the curtain on the show's rapid-fire tape schedule, recalling how Tony Hinchcliffe asked him to pull double-duty: "Tony was like, 'Do you wanna come back and do another character?' and I was like, 'Yeah,' but I didn't have a lot on me." Ray also lauded the musical backbone of the show, noting that "the Kill Tony band, they are fucking at the top of their game."

The conversation around the show's cultural footprint is shifting toward how its format can launch viral stars. On the same episode of Your Mom's House, Adam Ray suggested that a viral Walmart parking lot personality "needs to start doing the, uh, the Kill Tony model and just posting videos" to build a fanbase. Meanwhile, on 2 Bears, 1 Cave, guest Curry Barker pointed out the show's chaotic, anything-can-happen stage presence, noting that "There was a clown that, uh, popped up on stage at Kill Tony the other night."
